Saved by Two Girls

Whatever may have been the original
OF the tabled mcrmaids, ''sea-girIs, -" the
real mcrmaids are certainly found in the
Sandwich Islands. That strong man,
much less young woman, can be so
much at home in the water as to fight
and hill the icrcest native Of that element
on its own battle ground, seems in
credible, but Senator Fair of Nevada,
tells the following story as an experience
of his own:
1t happened upon my last visit to the
Sandwich Islands. am very expert
swimmer, and nothing p,eascs me better
than to plunge into the salt water. The
temperature Of the islands is delightful,
and l could not resist the temptation to
take swim.
| prepared myself, and plunged in.
After had been in the water for half an
hour | pushed ont over and beyond one
of the reefs which surround the islands,
All at once realized that something was
going on on the shore There was quite
a number Of natives there, and they APP
peared to be greatly excited.
Suddenly two native girls swan out
behind me with long knives between
their teeth. l looked around, and 20 my
horror | saw shark making for me with
terrific speed.
An instant later the girls had dived,
and the shark had nearly stopped. The
water around him was red with blood
The girls came to the surface again, and
again they dived and plunged their long
knives into the monster At last he Law
still on the top of the water quite dead
The natives dragged him ashore, and
found that he was one of the largest
of his species.
But for the wonderful bravery of these
girls should not be here tonight to tell
you this story.

Beggars i'm 4 Soudan Town

At every point of vantage-ncar the
gateways, at the outskirts Of the market
places or along the more busy thorough
fares-beggars in every degree Of emacia-
ton or of Ioathsome disease appeal to
you in the name of the Prophet, and as
you hope for a placein paradise, to minis
ter to their wants In vain, on finding
you have empty pockets, you try to evade
them. The dcformed and the cripples
grovel in the dust at your feet with
piteous cries; the bin d, OF whom there
arc large numbers, guided by children,
throng round yOu with their empty eve
sockets turned on you, more eloquent
than words; women with hardly rag to
cover their miserable skeletons hold up
their feshless arms with empty calabashes,
shrilly demanding aims in the name of
God. To see these miserable creatures
dragging out a life of semi-starvaton for
few years, one is almost tempted to
ask if the methods Of more barbarous
races were not bctter.-Hupey,'S Mtyozine.

Girls In RinrIefa

Ringlets flourishcd in 1916. In those
days accomplished girls ''twangcd the
light guitar" and accompanied them
selves in the most sentimental of songs,
They liked sitting dreaming in the moon
light, alone or en- tcte-a-tetc. They read
unlimited novels, and had no sense of
humor They never awoke to the reali-
ties of life until they married and wore
their hair in hands. If you put a girl in
ringlets, what can you eXpcct2 Certainly,
nothing practical or energetic It is well
known that the slightest exertion takes
the ringlets out of curl Let us hope
that fate will never be so cruel as again to
make them fashionable Boston Herald.

The Kalamazoo G"zctte tells this story,
which is undoubtedly not true, but none
the worse for that: He was sorry, sen
timental looking chap as he stood at the
desk in the lobby plaslering number of
letters with stamps in all manner of
queer and outIandish positions. After
he had them all fixed to his satisfaction
he turned to the man just scaling
stamped envelope he had just purchased
moment before, and, smiling in an i'd
otic way, asked: "Do you understand
the language Of stamps?" Yes" re
